I have commented on stackoverflow and I think we should continue there to keep it in one place. I guess the proper answer should be self contained and not use a gist. Regards, Florian Schulze On 6 Sep 2020, at 9:17, Axel wrote:

Hello,

I'm not sure if this the right place to ask, but I need to get the following issue to be solved.

*Goal:* Setup a devpi server and install packages on micropython devices with micropython upip.

*Issue:* devpi-server does not serve http://<mypc>:3141/testuser/dev/<mypackage>/json, which is required by upip.

What I want to return is something like this: curl -H "Accept: application/json" https://micropython.org/pi/micropython-pystone_lowmem/json

{"info": {"version": "3.4.2.post4"}, "releases": {"3.4.2.post4": [{"url": "https://micropython.org/pi/pystone_lowmem/pystone_lowmem-3.4.2.post4.tar.gz"}]}}

*Help:* I'm for now not sure if a whole devpi-plugin is required or if there is a more simple way to achieve this. If yes, how can I debug and develop efficiently a plugin? I tried to start from devpi-lockdown project, but a all I get is a struggling server.

*Unsuccessful trials so far:*

- Making upip to request "application/json" returns a huge JSON block which can probably not handled by a memory limited device, especially if there comes a lengthy "long_description".

*side information*

network and devpi-server is Ok, so the socket can be opened and I get initial data. The only thing that is missing: getting this simple json structure.

Thanks for any help,

Axel
